Problems:

Oil leak

Maserati engines, including the M156E, are known for oil leaks, particularly from valve cover gaskets and oil pan gaskets.

Timing chain issues

The timing chain on some Maserati engines can stretch or wear out prematurely, leading to poor engine performance or potential engine damage if not addressed.

Coolant leaks

Coolant leaks from the water pump or radiator are common in Maserati Levante models, leading to potential overheating issues.

Turbocharger problems

The twin-turbo V6 engine in the Levante may experience turbocharger failures, which can result in reduced power and performance.

Electrical issues

Maserati vehicles, including the Levante, often suffer from various electrical problems, such as faulty sensors or wiring harness issues.

Carbon buildup

The direct injection system can lead to carbon buildup on the intake valves, potentially causing rough idling or reduced engine performance.
